$10,000 To be a Hacker


Pwn2Own contest sponsor by the security company Tipping Point is back.. A price of 10,000 will be given to anyone that can send a virus through e-mail or text message. The virus has to be able to turn on a malignus program that some of these devices carry: iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Symbian and Windows Mobile phones.
Also, 5,000 will be given to those who can hack easily Microsoft, Apple and Linux systems.
The contest will be held during the CanSecWest Security Conference March 16-20th in Vancouver, BC.

I think this is a really cool way to test technology and to see if we can beat it.
